...and I'm not talking about some modified version of a production car built for SEMA, either.
Well, here's your chance.
AutoeXotica in St. Louis is selling the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
This concept, based on the 2002 Explorer, was built as the angler's dream.
Blondewood slats, GPS screen, automatic side steps that open to store fishing rods, a 4-cylinder Mazda engine (according to the listing), experimental Goodyear tires unique to this concept, and a 30 gallon live fish tank in the back to store your day's catches.
As with pretty much all concept cars, this vehicle does NOT have a VIN number, and thus is not road legal, even though it is a fully functioning vehicle.
The auction has a little less than 3 days left, is currently at $17,600 with 17 bids, and has NOT met it's reserve yet.
If you ever wanted to own an authentic concept car without spending a yachtload of money to buy it, this MAY be your chance, depending on what the seller's reserve is.
This isn't the first time a concept car has been auctioned on eBay ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , etc.), but it's still pretty darn awesome when a cool one-off concept vehicle makes it's way to the digital auction block.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Even if you don't wanna bid on it, or simply can't afford it (like myself), I still advise you to at least take a look at this fascinating piece of early '00s concept car.

Doesn't exactly say. Could be metal, could be plastic. Who knows?

CP due to tire availability and how shitty the GPS must be. Also rain and snow.

Probably metal. Most concept cars have real limited budget for tooling, so everything's a one-off.

whoever buys should at least try to get it registered , you clearly show a 17 digit vin , i mean the buyer might just get some DMV dimwit who barely knows their arse from their elbow.

There's three roof panels that can be removed to make the roof open like the pictures show.
If you don't want the roof open, the panels stay on.
Kinda like the hard top on a Jeep Wrangler.

There is a bright spot of possibility according to this image on the listing:
'Any entity or individual purchasing this Lot that wishes to use it on public roads is solely responsible for performing any required modifications and obtaining all applicable government certifications.'
